I would like to see what those people who are anit-chickens actually eat. They complain about chickens being kept, yet how many of them enjoy eggs and chicken to eat? Probably all of them. Yet, they find fault with people who want to keep a few hens for their own fresh eggs. It is truly unbelievable to see/hear the misinformation ignorant people have about chickens and the impact on people and the environment that they have. Some would tell you that it is unhealthy to keep chickens around, but they have 3 dogs crapping in their yard every day. I have dogs, I love them, but they poop and it isn't something you can or want to put in your garden where you grow food to eat yourself.
It is too bad that there has to be that struggle for some people just to have 3 hens.
